The 2025 EmpowHer Grant, offered by the Boundless Futures Foundation, provides financial and leadership resources for female entrepreneurs dedicated to addressing significant social issues through their businesses. The grant aims to empower women-led enterprises that seek to create meaningful and sustainable social impact, ensuring they have the support needed to thrive. The Boundless Futures Foundation is committed to fostering opportunities for women entrepreneurs who align with its mission of innovation, inclusivity, and positive societal transformation.

The grant is designed to support female entrepreneurs and mission-aligned organizations that uphold equitable and inclusive practices in their workplaces, volunteer structures, and client interactions. Applicants must demonstrate a commitment to non-discrimination and must not engage in activities that promote harm, divisiveness, or exclusivity. The foundation explicitly does not fund organizations tied to unresolved or contested legislation, political causes or lobbying, illegal activity, or religious doctrine.

The application process requires submission through the Submittable platform, where applicants must create a free account or log in via Google or Facebook. Submissions can be saved as drafts for later completion, and the platform is best accessed through Google Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. Once submitted, applications will be reviewed within 12-16 weeks, and all correspondence regarding application status will be handled via Submittable. It is recommended that applicants safelist Submittable emails to ensure they receive updates.

Applications for the 2025 EmpowHer Grant close on February 15, 2025, at 11:59 PM. The foundation encourages prospective grantees to review all eligibility criteria carefully before applying. Those with technical difficulties should contact Submittable’s customer support rather than reaching out to the foundation directly.

Successful applicants will receive financial assistance as well as leadership development opportunities to enhance their entrepreneurial skills and expand their businesses. The grant aims to create a lasting impact by supporting women who are actively solving today’s most pressing social challenges through innovative business solutions. Entrepreneurs who align with the foundation’s mission and values are encouraged to apply before the deadline.
